Hopefully you didn’t take the idea from Netflix’s “La Palma” ![]()
I hate travelling so usually one holiday per year (6/7 days).
Spent a few days in Cartagena, Colombia. Stayed mostly in the colonial area, quite beautiful and well kept.
It’s been quite nice here today but like you expecting rain tomorrow
Went to Transnistria on a whim. Strange place. They really need to learn you can put salt/grit on the pavements during winter. Never been somewhere so slippy.
Well we are up in the mountains and we’ve had torrential rain, some thunder & Lightning and even a bit of hail thrown into the mix
next stop Ronda
Just standard rain on the coast.
Ronda is pretty cool. I’ve seen snow there in the past.
That looks beautiful.
We were so close to an Italian Roadtrip through the Dolomites but swerved right (far right) to the Caribbean instead ![]()
It will be our first proper Caribbean and I’m quite looking forward to it.
Those tracks in streets always amaze me, everyone just sitting there.
It’s good fun quite startling the first time it goes past, the current schedule seems to be 7:10 and 7:20 pm whereas all the others are an hour or so apart, so evening is the best time to go to see two
I start by using Google Flights to find the flights first. The hotel and the rest comes after.
Yeah I usually book everything separately.
When I’ve booked a package I usually book with British Airways Holidays. Once did EasyJet Holidays too. You could check on Jet2, TUI, Expedia, or a local travel agency.
I could offer my travel advisor services but I don’t sell packages (and I don’t think self promotion is allowed on here?
)
We look around but almost always end up using TUI or EasyJet. Others tend to look cheaper but actually cut a load of things you probably need out to get the price right.
Thomas Cook (remember them) is now also a travel search and seems to sometimes give new deals.
We’ve also had success finding accommodation on booking and getting flights via sky scanner.
Others might have had a better experience but one site I’d avoid is Expedia. The deals look super good but that’s because the flights are appaling and they’re not honest.
We tried to book a holiday via this site which explicitly said it was all inclusive. It turned out not to be, and Expedia couldn’t seem to understand why this was a problem. I’m still waiting for the refund to drop off a week and a half later.
Is anyone here a user of ‘Flighty’?
I recently downloaded it to test it out for a trip and I was blown away by how helpful it was.
It’s also great for tracking all your flights, both past and future.
For those that do use it; what does your 2025 passport look like!?
Yes - as a quick search of this thread using the magnifying glass at the top right of the page shows.
I used it for a while, but it didn’t add too much to my flight/airport experience. I did enjoy it but not enough to pay full price for it. One feature I liked that after takeoff I could see how long until arrival. Maybe a few of us could get together for a family membership ![]()
For keeping a log of my flights I use my.flightradar24.com instead. Also use the app on the day to see the plane, where it’s been and if there’s any delays.
My 2025 map looks like this:
